Dialogue[]
Find Rina[]
- (Idle)
- Tarshi: Tch... I can't remember... hang on...
- Rina: Hmm?
- (Talk to Rina)
- Tarshi: Trust me! I'm telling you, I've seen you before somewhere, but... I can't remember where...
- Rina: I am quite confident in my memory. I can guarantee 100% that this is the first time we've met.
What's going on?
Need some help, Rina?- Rina: It's nothing important really. I just happened to be here listening to a song, and when it was over, the singer suddenly got very excited and said he'd seen me before.
- Perhaps it's a new pick-up strategy?
- Tarshi: Ab—so—lutely NOT! What kind of person do you take me for? Flirting would only slow down my strumming hand!
- Perhaps he's asking for a tip?
- Tarshi: Ab—so—lutely NOT! What kind of person do you take me for? Although I wouldn't turn it down... it's always nice to get a tip, right...
- Tarshi: You really do look familiar to me! Have we met at some music festival before? Even if we just rubbed shoulders...
- Rina: I think not. I would undoubtedly remember seeing a guitarist sporting a lady's handbag at a music festival.
- Tarshi: Lady's handbag? What lady's... Oh, you mean this on my arm... Oh, darn it! That old lady must've dropped it just now when she took a photo with me! She asked if I could hold it for her. How'd I forget it...
- You've got fans who want selfies?
- Your fans come from a broad range of ages huh.
- Tarshi: She's probably not a fan... even though I really wish she was! But she just kept on saying she likes me and how she wants to show our selfie to her granddaughter. Something about matching us up?
- Tarshi: Hey, I don't want to rain on Grandma's parade, but honestly, older folks' enthusiasm doesn't really help in these matters. The younger ones already have their own... Wait, what was I saying? The issue now is that the purse got left behind!
- Tarshi: She can't have gone far. I remember her going off in that direction. Could you help me watch my stuff? I'll go give her bag back — I'll be right back!
- Tashi puts down his guitar, picks up the lady's handbag, and rushes off. Encountering such an individual at a music festival would undoubtedly leave a lasting impression...
- Rina: It's kind of sudden, but there's no reason to refuse... I'll just help him keep an eye on things a while.
- I hope he can catch up to that old lady.
- I hope he doesn't run all that way for nothing.
- Expectant Boy: Are you going to sing? Is it time for a lady to take the mike this time?
- Rina: Sorry, I'm just helping him watch his things for a while — I'm not a performer.
- Expectant Boy: C'mon, lady! I wanna hear you sing!
- Rina: Oh, ahem...
- Me too! This is a golden opportunity!
- I want to hear it, too! You've got a loyal listener here!
- Rina: Oh my, since the Manager insists... I'll use the equipment to play a song to make up for helping out. It's been ages since I last played the electric guitar, so let me practice a bit first.
- After a little warm-up, Rina the Maid Singer's performance began, attracting passersby to take photos and tip her. By the end of the song, the audience had grown from the initial two to a large circle, and Rina had become the center of attention in Lumina Square.
Talk to Rina[]
- verify if the quest name changes here
- (Idle)
- NPC 1: You sound great! You're a way better singer than he is!
- NPC 2: Wow... Is this a special Lumina Square show?
- NPC 3: I wanna learn the guitar now, too!
- NPC 4: It sounds amazing. Are you gonna play again...?
- Rina: What do you think, Manager? I hummed along a bit for any lyrics I'd forgotten.
- I think it sounded awesome!
- Even better than "You smell good, I smell good"!
- (Black screen transition)
- Tarshi: Phew, made it back! Man, I saw that old lady from a distance at the intersection, and wouldn't you know it, I got caught by a red light and had to sprint like mad...
- Rina: Judging by your expression, you caught up to her in the end?
- Tarshi: Yeah... Honestly, I've never chased anyone so hard before. When I ran past Public Security, the officer at the front door nearly chased after me and took me in for questioning... But anyway, what are all these people doing here?
- Rina: Ah, I just borrowed your equipment to sing a little song.
- Tarshi: ...Why...?
- Rina: Mainly because my friend here wanted to listen, and it's rather boring just standing watch here. Don't worry, I didn't damage anything. I may not be a professional singer, but I do have some experience performing.
- Tarshi: No... why... why did so many people come listen! I've been here all day, and if you added up everyone who came to listen to me, it'd still be fewer than those who listened to just one of your songs!
- Tarshi: Oh right, the tips... let's see how many barcode scans you got... Whoa! I make less in a week than you got for playing just one song!
- Tarshi: But why... I should be happy just earning a little money, but... I can't accept it! Are my songs bad? Or is it my style... Don't tell me it's the maid outfit? Would I draw in bigger crowds if I wore a maid outfit?
- I'd definitely tip then!
- Calm down. A maid outfit really isn't your style.
- Rina: If you're wondering why, I can actually offer a possibility. When I heard you play before, I had a certain feeling, and after looking through the sheet music you left behind, I'm convinced.
- Rina: You're worrying or waiting for something, so you are unable to unleash your full potential. The last few pages of the sheet music include some brilliant pieces, all intended for duet performances.
- Rina: I think most of the notation was for a violin accompanist, so you must be waiting for a partner... someone who can play the violin, right?
- Tarshi: ...Seems you're more than just a maid who can play the guitar. You're right, though — I get along just fine by myself, but there's always that nagging thought, "If they were still here, I could advance even farther." You probably have similar thoughts, no?
- ((Sure — I've always been able to move forward together with Belle...Sure — I've always been able to move forward together with Belle... /
I've always been able to move forward together with Wise...I've always been able to move forward together with Wise...)) - Rina: I'm not really sure what you're thinking, Manager, but I've never really thought I need other people to advance myself. Rather, I'm always doing my best to be the person other people need — after all, the whole point of being a maid is for your Master to rely on you.
- Sure, with Rina you can go even farther.
- Rina: Ahh, it feels truly wonderful to be evaluated by you like this~ I will keep striving to improve for you, Dear Guide~
- Tarshi: Ah, but now's not the time to talk about partners! Talking won't bring them back. Why not play a few more songs while we have such a crowd! Before that, let's settle the tips. You were the one singing, so I can't take them all!
- How kind!
- How generous!
- Tarshi: Let me see... once I deduct the instrument usage fee and the venue fee... there's about... here you go, ten percent for you!
- I take back what I said!
- If the venue is yours, why are you charging a venue fee?
- Rina: ...It's okay, ten percent is fine~ it covers the cost of two teamilks. I often hear people say they'll treat friends to a teamilk once they get paid, but I've never had that experience~
- Rina: So Manager, would you like a teamilk? I usually brew my own for everyone, but today's a rare exception. Let working Rina buy you one~
- There's a great teamilk place nearby!
- The Richard Teamilk nearby is good!
- Rina: I know that place well. Please go ahead and order two cups of teamilk. I'll be over once I collect my "wages" here.
- Rina: Oh — and please get half sugar, no ice for me~
Go to Richard Teamilk and order two drinks[]

- (Idle)
- Tarshi: I'm back... Huh? Where'd all these people come from?
- Tarshi: Let me count. How many Dennies do we have here...
- (Talk to Rina again, optional)
- Tarshi: Ooh! Ooh ooh! Hang on, I know where I've seen you before!
- Rina: Hm?
- Tarshi: Did you ever go over to the studio on Twenty-Seventh Street and save the day by helping my friend out? She's a guitarist called Sansa!
- Rina: I don't know what your friend's called, but I was really impressed by that recording session. I wouldn't call it "saving the day," but I sure was happy to help provide the perfect service needed~
- Tarshi: Oh... it doesn't matter, that's not the point! You took a group photo after the recording, right? Well, I saw that photo, and the maid guitarist in the picture left quite an impression on me!
- Tarshi: So there you go then. At least it proves I was telling the truth! I wasn't hitting on you, okay! My sharp memory has vindicated me!
- (Idle)
- Coco: Welcome!
- (Talk to Coco)
- Coco: Want something to drink?
- Two cups of Caramel Boba Oolong Teamilk, please.
- Half sugar, no ice!
- Coco: Alright, two cups of Caramel Boba Oolong Teamilk, half sugar and no ice. Coming right up!
- Full sugar, regular ice!
- Coco: Alright, two cups of Caramel Boba Oolong Teamilk, full sugar and regular ice. Coming right up!
- Two cups of Yumyum Mint Teamilk, please.
- Half sugar, no ice!
- Coco: Alright, two cups of Yumyum Mint Teamilk, half sugar and no ice. Coming right up!
- Full sugar, regular ice!
- Coco: Alright, two cups of Yumyum Mint Teamilk, full sugar and regular ice. Coming right up!
- Rina arrives at the teamilk store just as the drinks are about to be served.
- (If (Half sugar, no ice!) is selected)
-
- Rina: Let me get the bill~ Hmm... It's just the level of sweetness and ice that I wanted. Did you order the same thing, Manager? Looks like we've got matching tastes~
- (If (Full sugar, regular ice!) is selected)
-
- Rina: Let me get the bill~ It's not the sweetness and amount of ice I wanted... Hmm? So you ordered the same, Manager... Alright, I'll trust in your taste~
- Sorry for putting you out.
- I get to listen to free music and get a free drink today.
- Rina: Please don't worry~ Today was really enjoyable~ It feels nice to occasionally fulfill desires beyond my regular duties. Especially things like treating friends to a teamilk with my hard-earned money...
- Rina: Please allow me to thank you, Manager. This is something I've always wanted to do but never had the chance. To stand here before you today as a friend treating you to a drink while we have a little chat — that's what I call a really precious experience.
- Rina: It's getting late, and I have to get back. I hope you have a good day~
- I'll be sure to catch your performance next time.
- Let's have a teamilk together again sometime~
- Rina: I'm sure we'll get the chance~

- (Talk to Rina again, optional)
- Rina: I need to adjust my mood now and prepare for my upcoming work.
